This retro 1950s standard lamp exudes timeless mid-century chic, combining classic design elements with unique vintage character. Constructed from teak and metal, it perfectly embodies the era's sophisticated simplicity.
The rounded teak base has been stripped at some point, revealing a bare and natural aesthetic with a touch of rustic charm. A small piece is missing on one edge, as shown in the images, but this does not detract from its overall appeal. The fluted handle, designed for easy operation, retains its original shinier and brighter finish, adding a delightful contrast to the design.
The column, a sturdy tube of iron or steel, is coated in a thin layer of composite plastic, giving it a sleek and understated look. There is a small area where the coating has been nicked, as shown in the photos. While it could be repaired with adhesive, angling the imperfection towards the wall ensures it remains unnoticed.
Pair this lamp with the perfect retro-inspired lampshade to complement your decor, and it will become a stunning focal point in any room. It features a bayonet fitting in good condition, but please note that the wire has been cut and the lamp will need to be rewired—a rewarding project that will breathe new life into this vintage treasure.
With its timeless design and unique character, this lamp is a must-have for any mid-century enthusiast or retro home.
Please refer to the photographs for a closer look at the details and view the overall condition. Feel free to message with any questions.
Height, to the top of the bayonet 149 cm
Diameter of the base 34 cm
